How is giving money to a group of people who state that they dont believe homosexuals should have the same rights as heterosexuals not funding bigotry?

They have the SAME rights, they just don't have DIFFERENT rights except in six states and DC. The SSM debate is NOT about keeping things the SAME it is about making them DIFFERENT, thus the SSM debate is about CHANGING marriage laws not about KEEPING THEM THE SAME. This may seem a "minor detail" to you, but it is not to the state legislators that must represent their constituents in order to remain in office. One only needs to compare the turn out of Wednesday's CFA "eat in" to that of today's CFA "kiss in" event to see the CLEAR difference in the numbers involved in each position. Just a little tidbit for you to consider: Chick-fil-A 'kiss' day marred by 'Tastes like hate' graffiti - latimes.com

Im sorry but have you gone to the FRCs website? They arnt just against SSM but they are against homosexuals having the same rights as heterosexuals period.

"We oppose the vigorous efforts of homosexual activists to demand that homosexuality be accepted as equivalent to heterosexuality in law, in the media, and in schools."

The FRC spreads bold faced lies about homosexuality claiming things that we know are false such as homosexuals are more likely to molest children and children in households headed by same sex parents tend to do worse then children in households raised by opposite sex parents.

Profits. Ever since all this bull**** started, they have been packed full of customers day and night.

Not true, they close at 10pm sharp.

And they aren't open on Sunday. They lose a lot of after-church diners that way, but it may also be a good way to cut costs.

I love the NSA. It's like having a secret fan-base you will never see, but they're there, watching everything you write and it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside knowing that I may be some person's only form of unconstitutional entertainment one night.

“I'm for truth, no matter who tells it. I'm for justice, no matter who it is for or against. I'm a human being, first and foremost, and as such I'm for whoever and whatever benefits humanity as a whole.”

You obviously have no clue what my political beliefs are, let alone what I'll remember, so just stop embarrassing yourself with these stupid assumptions. It's pathetic.

You remember every stupid little thing some politician does, and continue to be butthurt by it for years? Bull****. You are absolutely, 100% lying.

Chick Fil a isn't a government entity, and therefore has no power over the People of the United States.

Chick-Fil-A funds organizations which lobby the federal government for a pro-discrimination agenda.

Demanding professionalism from elected officials, and staying within the boundaries of office are pretty radical ideas these days for some reason.

It's pretty radical to expect them to behave like perfect gods instead of human beings who say dumb things. If you really think that Rahm Emanuel should be imprisoned for making a rash comment, or that Rick Perry should be imprisoned for treason for half-jokingly threatening to secede, then you are a completely irrational and impractical person.

And supporting a flip flopping dictator in the process.

I see. So now we're going to randomly rant about Obama rather than discussing the subject at hand. How fun.

Now you're just getting emotional. You need to simmer down if you expect this conversation to continue.

So do a lot of people. Section 3 of DOMA is still going to fail, so if Cathy wants to waste his money, that's his problem.

I was thinking more along the lines of firing him for his corruption, and possibly fining him for certain acts, but keep twisting my words into the worst possible extremes. You're only discrediting yourself. I see absolutely nothing radical about expecting professional behavior from elected officials, especially when officially addressing the public.

No, still talking about Rahm Emmanuel.

Nah, he should be impeached for it being only half-jokingly. Maybe other Americans think it treasonous, but some think we have the right to do so and if you haven't noticed, a lot of Texans just ain't to worried about what other people think.
